The OREO Brand & BTS Movement Is On! Introducing The Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookies

By  at May 29, 2026    No comments

OREO and BTS fans, get ready for an OREO cookie BTS made just for you. That’s right: RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook are joining forces with the world’s #1 cookie to drop the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookies, a brown sugar pancake-flavoured OREO cookie created by BTS and dedicated to BTS fans. This collaboration will kick off a playful global movement across 80+ markets with BTS and the OREO brand.

This partnership is the latest expression of the OREO brand’s strategy to disrupt the competitive snack market by curating collaborations that only the OREO brand can deliver on. Together with pop royalty BTS, OREO is turning their iconic cookie and delicious flavour into a global conversation that brings our playfulness to life, sparks fan excitement, and ultimately leads culture.

The result is a deeply personal flavour creation brought to a global audience: the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookies are filled with a sweet creme that remixes the flavours of hotteok, a warm, brown sugar–stuffed pancake popular in Korean street food markets. BTS has fond childhood memories of eating not just hotteok but also OREO cookies, making this a deeply meaningful collaboration that places a piece of their Korean heritage inside an iconic cookie they’ve always loved.

“For OREO to be the first snacking brand we’ve collaborated with globally is a huge honour. We ate them as kids, we eat them in the studio, and now OREO is helping us share a taste of home with the world,” said BTS. ”We’re just so proud to add our own chapter to OREO’s amazing story.”

BTS poured their love for BTS fans into the outside of their OREO cookies, too. As the band celebrates its 13th anniversary, the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookies feature 13 unique embossments BTS designed for their fans, including the band member names, a BTS light stick, and three OREO cookies that form a special message to BTS fans. Collect the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookies to unveil the message!

While the unique OREO cookie embossments celebrate the BTS fandom, the design on the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookie Packs is a vibrant homage to South Korea’s iconic street market culture: a bustling tapestry of sights, sounds, and delicious food like hotteok. From the moment fans hold the pack, the OREO brand is inviting them to get a taste of the energy and excitement that is such a key part of the South Korean experience.

This special message is the start of a global movement that the OREO brand created for fans. Inspired by the fandom’s letter-writing tradition, we’re rallying OREO and BTS fans to help create the world’s largest love letter to BTS. To join the movement, scan the QR code on the Limited Edition OREO & BTS Cookie Pack or visit my.oreosea.com to write a playful digital letter to BTS. As letters pour in from around the globe, fans can read each other’s words to BTS as the largest love letter prepares to come to life in the real world. Keep submitting your letters for a chance to win exclusive OREO brand & BTS prizes and see what’s next!

“OREO has always been about simple, joyful moments, and this collaboration with BTS brings that spirit to life in a way that feels deeply personal,” said Simon Crowther, Managing Director for Malaysia and Singapore, Mondelēz International. “By drawing inspiration from flavours that are close to BTS’s roots, we’re creating something that connects culture, memory, and everyday snacking. For fans in Malaysia, this is an invitation to be part of a global moment, one that celebrates creativity, shared experiences, and the small rituals that bring people together.”

In Malaysia, OREO will be hosting a pop-up at Blue Concourse, Sunway Pyramid, from 8th to 14th June 2026, inviting fans and consumers to immerse themselves in a playful experience.

M’sian Immigration Dept: Do Not Use AI-Generated or Modified Photos for Passport

By  at May 29, 2026    No comments

Many Malaysians prefer having ‘better-looking’ photos of themselves on their official identification documents such as their identity cards (ICs), driver’s licenses and passports, leading some to utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) to beautify their pictures.

Due to this, the public is now being informed not to use photos generated or modified using AI technology for the purpose of applying for a Malaysian passport.

Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia | Facebook

According to the Malaysian Immigration Department (JIM), the use of AI photos or the submission of false information in a passport application is a serious offence and can be subject to action under the Passport Act 1966 (Act 150).

They explained that applicants must ensure that photos submitted are original, clear and comply with the specifications set by the immigration authorities.

“Any false photos or information submitted may cause the application to be rejected and the applicant may be subject to action in accordance with existing legal provisions,” JIM shared.

 

Identity verification purposes

JIM further urged the public to ensure passport photos have even lighting, a clear face without shadows and have not been modified using any AI applications or technology, as the use of real photos is very important in ensuring identity verification processes run smoothly and to avoid any elements of fraud.

“Use real photos. Avoid AI manipulation.”

(Video) Chef Wan Opens Up About Being Shamed By Father For Enjoying Cooking

By  at May 28, 2026    No comments

Chef Wan is an icon in the Malaysian culinary scene, having made a name for himself as a celebrity chef and restaurateur. However, he recently revealed that the journey to be one of the best in his field wasn’t easy.

The chef, whose real name is Redzuawan Ismail, recently appeared on the Studio Sembang podcast, where he chatted with host Amelia Henderson about his life and career. One of the topics the two discussed was Chef Wan’s early beginnings and how he got into cooking as a young boy. During this discussion, the chef opened up about the criticism he faced for enjoying cooking.

@studiosembang

nak tahu best atau tak episode ni korang kena lah judge sendiri ok? #jomsembang with Datuk @chefwan later 10pm on @YouTube @Spotify or @Apple Podcasts ! #studiosembang

♬ original sound – Studio Sembang – Studio Sembang

Chef Wan said he received backlash for enjoying cooking as a boy, since many people with traditional beliefs see cooking as a woman’s role. The 68-year-old said even his own father shamed him for helping out his mother in the kitchen. Chef Wan said his father’s words deeply affected him, but he said he wasn’t discouraged. Instead, he continued to improve his cooking skills with his mother’s help.

Surprisingly, Chef Wan’s mother also faced criticism for her son’s love for cooking. The television personality lamented that many people gave his mother a hard time for allowing her son to help her with cooking and household chores. Thankfully, a few neighbourhood aunties saw his skills as a positive trait, even quipping that they wanted him as their son-in-law. Chef Wan also noted that the same neighbours would also teach him new recipes.

@studiosembang

guys, kita nak sembang dengan @chefwan pulak ni. korang rasa akan ada segment masak² ke tak?? #jomsembang #studiosembang

♬ original sound – Studio Sembang – Studio Sembang

Despite the criticism, Chef Wan defends his interest in cooking and household chores, arguing that it’s important to embed these skills into children, regardless of gender. He explains that learning to cook teaches children how to survive, take care of themselves and be responsible, among other things. He also noted that honing his cooking skills led him to where he is now, a respected figure in Malaysia.

In the comments section, many netizens echoed Chef Wan’s sentiments. They also praised him for not letting criticism get in the way of his interests. Check out the full “Studio Sembang” episode below:

Dua Lipa’s List: KL’s Tintabudi Named Among Popstar’s Favourite Bookstores

By  at May 28, 2026    No comments

Google Maps is partnering with global editorial and cultural platform Service95 — alongside its founder, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa — to bring a more personal lens to travel discovery.

Known for her passport-stamped lifestyle and effortlessly curated recommendations, Dua is now sharing her favourite spots directly in Maps, complete with a custom Google Maps Pegman designed to accompany users on the journey.

Service95 Book Club with Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa and Service95 have unveiled 12 curated Google Maps lists spotlighting some of her favourite destinations around the world. Each guide features personal recommendations, along with photos from Dua’s own camera roll, offering an intimate look at the places she returns to again and again.

From late-night tacos in Mexico City to candlelit date spots in Paris, the lists capture the spirit of travel through Dua’s distinctly personal lens.

 

Malaysia was mentioned!

Tintabudi

In her list for her favourite bookstores from around the world sits Tintabudi Bookshop, located in TTDI Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.

Sharing on Tintabudi, Dua explained that the bookshop holds a special place in her heart as it carries a strong selection of Southeast Asian literature and that its creative space is paramount in championing reading culture in Kuala Lumpur.

“Tintabudi in Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful independent bookshop and creative space doing something important for the reading culture of the city. The selection of Southeast Asian literature is particularly strong,” she wrote.

 

Not the first time Tintabudi was highlighted

Back in March 2026, Dua Lipa’s Book Club named Tintabudi as her ‘Indie Bookshop of the Month’ thanks to their passion and efforts in nurturing the habit of reading as well as building interpersonal bonds through public lectures and workshops.

“In addition to their thoughtful curation of titles, Tintabudi takes their love of reading beyond the bookshelves, creating a space for their community to discuss books, listen to public lectures and be part of hands-on workshops,” she shared.

Barbie Hsu’s Daughter Sparks Interest With Growing Resemblance To Late Actress

By  at May 28, 2026    No comments

It’s been over a year since Barbie Hsu’s (徐熙媛) tragic passing. As fans and loved ones continue to pay tribute, there is also increased attention on her two children. Most recently, her daughter has been garnering attention for her growing resemblance to the late star.

Earlier this week, Barbie’s ex-husband, Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲), shared a video of himself spending time with his daughter, Wang Hsi-Yueh (汪希玥/小玥儿). The video shows him taking her to art classes and enjoying a meal together. While the video doesn’t show the 12-year-old’s face, her appearance and tone of speech made many netizens instantly think of Barbie.

Netizens noted that Hsi-Yueh’s long, dark hair and slender figure reminded them of her late mother. Coupled with her walking posture and voice, many said she’s a copy of the Taiwanese star, prompting jokes about Barbie’s strong genes. However, seeing Hsi-Yueh’s growth also sparked melancholy among fans who dearly miss the late Big S (大S).

Barbie’s sister, Dee Hsu (徐熙娣), also continues to remember the star, sharing old photos of them on social media. The television personality recently shared photos from her wedding banquet, noting how her sister appeared excitedly looking upon the married couple and capturing the wedding on her digital camera.

Dee, fondly known as Little S (小S), recalled Barbie playfully threatening her husband during their wedding, saying she’ll find someone to break his leg if he treats Dee badly. While the variety show host knew that the claim was merely a joke, she said it shows how much her sister cares for and loves her.

Given how loved and respected Barbie was, and continues to be, it’s understandable how her sudden passing left many devastated, even a year later. However, with family and friends continuing to share fond memories of her, it’s safe to say that her legacy will live on.

Shakira & Burna Boy Release “Dai Dai” Music Video Featuring All-Star Cast Of Football Players

By  at May 28, 2026    No comments

Shakira and Burna Boy released the video for their new track “Dai Dai,” the official song of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The video was shot in Miami and directed by Hannah Lux Davis. Currently with over 31M views on YouTube, the video features a compilation of soccer stars Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrigo Hernández (Rodri), Vinícius Júnior, Takefusa Kubo, Santiago Giménez, Erling Haaland, Luis Díaz, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and Christian Pulisic.

The video also features Ghetto Kids Uganda, a life-changing NGO dedicated to supporting orphaned, street, and vulnerable children through music, dance, and drama. By turning talent into opportunity, the organization provides education, shelter, healthcare, food, and hope for a brighter future while helping children stay away from the hardships of street life.

 

The video shows Shakira atop Mexico City’s Angel de la Independencia, one of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks on the emblematic Reforma Avenue. It serves as a visual tribute to a country that has played an important role throughout her career, with special thanks to the capital’s tourism campaign “Ciudad de México Corazón Grande” for its support in bringing this moment to life.

Shakira will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026™Final Halftime Show on 19th July 2026 (Sunday), alongside Madonna and BTS, where she will perform “Dai Dai” with Burna Boy. For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, the final will feature a halftime show, bringing together global artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose, to support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.

SOURCES: SONY MUSIC

As announced last week at Global Citizen NOW in New York, “Dai Dai” will be the official anthem of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise USD $100 million by the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Final to provide children in underserved communities around the world with access to quality education and sports. Shakira’s royalties from “Dai Dai” are being donated to the Education Fund, and Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation. Additionally, Shakira is donating $1 from every ticket sold to her upcoming “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” tour to the Education Fund.

This summer, Shakira will hit the road for a special limited run of U.S. dates on her record-breaking “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” World Tour, giving fans a rare chance to see her electrifying production up close in more intimate arena settings this summer. Tickets are available at shakira.com. In October, Shakira will headline an 11-night stadium European residency based in Madrid, with a stadium named ‘Shakira Stadium’ being built especially for her and has already sold more than half a million tickets.

SOURCES: SONY MUSIC

For Burna Boy, the collaboration marks another defining global moment in a career that continues to bridge music, sport, and culture on an unprecedented scale. Widely recognized as one of the most influential African artists of his generation, Burna Boy has become synonymous with stadium-level performance, global musical fusion, and the international rise of African music and culture. From headlining arenas and stadiums across the world to performing at the NBA All-Star Game and building major partnerships at the intersection of music and sport, Burna Boy continues to redefine what global African artistry looks like at the highest level. Burna Boy is currently in the midst of an expansive international run that continues to cement his position as one of the world’s leading live performers and cultural voices.
